S.U.R.V.I.V.O.R.
“Studying Survival Guide”
S- Start early (The earlier you start, the more time to space out your studying)
U- Understand all the information about the final
(Make sure you know what you’ll be tested on exactly, make sure you have all the
materials you will need to take the test, and make sure you know the format)
R- Routine (Use your time management skills to map out specific study times
and establish a routine)
V- Vanish from distraction (find a space beyond your room where you can
work free of distraction)
I- Immerse yourself in your studies (Concentrate on studying, but in
intervals of 30-40 minutes maximum, taking brief breaks of 3-5 minutes)
V- Vow to get some sleep (Sleep helps to rejuvenate your body and helps
you to focus more clearly. Bottom line… you can do everything right in your study
preparation, but if you are sleep deprived it can easily be a moot point)
O- Omit cramming right before the test (Cramming right before adds
to confusion during the test)
R- Review the test
(Before you begin, skim the test and note the point
distribution- if the points are all equal keep moving if you get stuck on one
question; If not, focus on the sections that are weighted the heaviest)
